Yeah, due to them being catch and shoot guys, I think there's a decent chance that BOTH Bullock and Brown give this team more than Richardson did last year.
Trying not to overrate them out of unfamiliarity, but though Richardson "dabbled" in all areas of the game, he wasn't a good enough handler/creator to ever make me feel good about making Luka play off-ball, he was scared to shoot off the catch (and I'm talking about Luka-level open opportunities) far too often for me, and his defense wasn't remotely near a level that made it easier for me to digest either of those issues. He DID show a remarkable talent for dribbling into traffic and attempting difficult mid-range shots, I'll give him that.
Bullock and Brown aren't the playmakers we think the team needs, but they (hopefully) will add depth, spacing and a little bit of real defense. I hope they're tough and physical.
